all at once
All at once
The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin'
That you could tell me
That could ease my mind
Which way will you run
When it's always all around you
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around a song some say
There's gonna be the new hell some say
It's still too early to tell
Some say it really ain't no myth at all
Keep askin ourselves
Are we really
Strong enough
There's so many things
That we got
Too proud of
We're too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off instead
We'll plant some seeds
We'll watch em' as they grow
And with each new beat from your heart
The roots grow deeper the branches
Will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all
There's this heart
All alone
What about is gone
And it really
Won't be so long
Sometimes it feels
Like a heart
Is no place
To be singin'
From at all
There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all could blow away
With a breeze
If your waitin on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness
Gets deeper
We'll be sinkin
As we reach for love
At least somethin
We could hold
But i'll reach to you
From where time
Just can't go...
go on
In my rear view
I watch you watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove, or to assume
Just thinking that your thoughts are different than mine
In my rear view
I watch you
And I gave you your life, would you give me mine
I see you slowly swim away
Cause the light is leaving town
To a place that I can’t be
But there’s no apologies
Just go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start
I see your perfect little eyes
Watch the shadows of the clouds
And the surface of the ocean out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I’m used to walking with my feet
Turbulence is like a sigh that I can’t help but over think
What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn’t ever do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through
You could do the same
It’s the least you could do
Cause it’s a lonely little chain
If you don’t add to it
So go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start
